The Black Card - Chapter 1243
[Chapter 1241 Leaving the Island]
Shi Lei fell silent. He was troubled by the problem of this satellite.
There are only more than 6,000 satellites operating around this planet, and about half of them are still working. One-thirtieth of them will be bought by the ferryman?
Shi Lei had no doubts about being able to buy satellites.
After all, a large proportion of all satellites belong to various companies.
According to recent data, the total number of national-level satellites launched by various countries in the world is just over 2,000, and the remaining 60 to 70% are still working.
This also means that among the more than 3,000 satellites still in operation, more than 50% still belong to various companies.
After all, the use of satellites is limited by years. If the price is right, those companies may not be willing to sell their satellites, at least those satellites whose remaining working time will not be too long, or simply no longer working, but just around. There must be nothing wrong with the Earth remaining in orbit with its satellites.
To put it bluntly, it is still a matter of money after all.
But why did the ferryman buy the satellite?
Form your own satellite network so that you can locate all the members of the Eyes of Darkness and catch them all?
This seems a bit nonsense.
Or, like in some shoddy American movie, do you want to imitate the villain’s purposeful control of satellite crashes, hoping to cause a fatal blow to the earth?
This is a bit like the character of the Ferryman. Anyway, his goal is to cause a world-level panic, preferably to kill three-quarters of the world’s population.
But first of all, the movie made a huge exaggeration, increasing the number of satellites orbiting the earth tenfold.
At the same time, the film producers did not think much about the loss caused by friction with the air after the satellite crashed into the atmosphere.
In any case, expecting to threaten the governments of various countries on the earth with just a hundred satellites is basically just for YY’s sake.
Although the ferryman is perverted and a lunatic, he should not be so stupid as to really believe that the crash of a satellite can cause a world-level panic.
If he could control all the satellites orbiting the earth and make them strike at the same time like in the movie, this would probably pose a greater threat to governments.
After all, these satellites are responsible for a very large workload and are directly related to the national defense and security of many countries. If all satellites were to go on strike, the earth’s economy could run in reverse in an instant for more than ten or twenty years.
But a hundred of them are civilian or enterprise satellites, which doesn’t seem like enough, right?
Shi Lei thought for a long time but couldn’t think of a reason. He was about to ask Manda a few more questions, but he found that Manda, under his command, had black blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, his head was tilted to the side, and he had been dead for a while.
Manda committed suicide.
She left behind a so-called clue that Shi Lei couldn’t figure out, and then committed suicide.
Manda knew that Shi Lei would never let her leave alive, or she revealed the ferryman’s possible next move. Even if Shi Lei let her go, the ferryman would still kill her, so she simply Chosen to commit suicide.
Cyanide in teeth is probably a necessary drug for anyone engaged in dangerous occupations to prepare themselves a path to death without being tortured and tortured.
Of course, Shi Lei knew that Manda had such things in his mouth, but he had no intention of stopping Manda. Manda could die after telling him these things, which was considered a worthy death.
Although there was still no clue about the satellite incident, at least Shi Lei knew that the person really responsible for monitoring Xu Zhida was not the ferryman himself, but Manda.
This means that both Shi Lei and Eye of the Dark Night overestimated the ferryman’s energy, and he was not as magical as they imagined.
This can also be seen from the funds actually held by the ferryman.
Less than 20 billion US dollars, which is about one-seventh or eighth of the amount of funds based on the information compiled by Shi Lei from the four consortiums.
Moreover, Shi Lei also knew about the ferryman’s method of laundering money. This was probably a loophole that the Eye of the Night had not checked on its own. It was time to make up for it.
All in all, the information obtained from Manda was enough, and Shi Lei believed in Xu Zhida even more. It seemed that Xu Zhida had really woken up.
He opened the window and looked outside. After confirming that no one was there, Shi Lei jumped out easily.
Then, he put on the mask and continued to walk towards the seaside as Dickens.
We still met a few guards on the road, but they were still the same as during the day and didn’t pay too much attention to Shi Lei, who looked like Dickens.
Shi Lei was able to return to the cave easily.
The two divers were very excited to see Shi Lei back, which meant that they could leave the island.
Although it has always been safe here, if Shi Lei makes any trouble on the island, it will be hard to predict, and the lack of security will also implicate them.
It is of course the best choice to leave this island.
Shi Lei returned Dickens’ clothes and wig to him, and told him that Xu Zhida had been convinced by him and was actively mobilizing ships to leave the island.
“Dickens, although you won’t live long now, I think it would be a comfort to you if you have the opportunity to go back home and see your children again. Xu Zhida should give you the money he promised you , and I promised to help you take care of your wife and children, and I will do the same. Now, go to the pier, and Xu Zhida will take you away. After you find Xu Zhida, you ask him to call me. This is me The number of this phone…” Shi Lei handed Dickens a piece of paper he had prepared a long time ago.
Dickens was so excited that he said tremblingly: “Mr. Shi, won’t you come with us?”
Shi Lei shook his head and said: “In order to avoid possible trouble, I’d better not go with you. After all, those guards are not really Xu Zhida’s people, they serve those two consortiums. As for me, Just leave as you came, I think, this may be safer for me, and the same for you.”
Dickens did not dare to say more, he put on his clothes, put on his wig, and hurriedly left the cave.
Shi Lei looked at the two divers and said: “We will not be in any danger for the time being. Do you think we should leave now and then wait at the previously designated place until the ship comes back to pick us up tomorrow, or should we stay in the cave? Wait until daybreak before leaving?”
The two divers looked at each other and said in unison: “Leave now.”
One diver added: “We are walking underwater anyway, there is not much difference between day and night. Stay on the island There is still danger after all, so I think we’d better leave immediately.”
Another diver also nodded and said, “We don’t have to go back to where the boat launched us. We go to the reef first. Due to the tide at night, A small part of that reef will be above the water. According to my understanding, we should be able to stay on the reef. Of course, sleeping is impossible, but even here, we can’t fall asleep.”
Shi Lei had nothing to do. Objected, the two divers were clearly more experienced than him in this area.
When Xu Zhida called and Shi Lei confirmed with him that they had set sail and were preparing to leave, Shi Lei threw away the satellite phone and went into the sea with the two divers.
In the dark night, with the help of the propeller, Shi Lei and the two divers arrived at their destination more than an hour later.
Sure enough, at night, the reef was half a meter above the water.
Make up 8.
At this point, the debt owed has been paid.
I wish you all a happy reading.
